Well it's time to dust this machine off again and get working on it. My project now is to redo the outer bearing blocks. Originally I made these upside down not thinking that one day I would get accurate sizes of the 1:1 machine.

Removed shoe assembly


Old blocks ready for the scrap bin.


Here is a start on the new blocks.

Steve,

What is it (the bearing) supposed to look like, do you have any photos? are the bearings impregnated, alum/bronze etc.? as far as the next project, a shovel would be a good choice. How big?

They are plain bronze bearings. Here is a photo of the 1:1 I am hogging mine
out in the center because I don't want to tap a 1-72 thread into a blind hole.


Here is the progress yesterday. I hope to finish the caps
tonight.
